VCSELs与EELs多模弛豫振荡的研究

根据多模速率方程,利用MATLAB提供的SIMULINK软件包对垂直腔面发射激光器(VCSELs)和边发射激光器(EELs)多模弛豫振荡进行了研究。结果表明,与单模情况相比,多模时EELs弛豫振荡频率增大、弛豫和延迟时间缩短,而VCSELs动态特性变化不大。与此同时,在得出VCSELs的单模工作、高速调制以及提高偏置电流或自发辐射因子可改善两类器件动态特性等结论外还看到,VCSELs边模抑制比(SMSR)随偏置电流变化率高于EELs;自发辐射因子增大时,边模强度同比例增大、主模强度减小,利用微腔效应有效控制自发辐射因子可以优化VCSELs的单模特性。

在SIMULINK平台下建立了垂直腔面发射激光器(VCSEL)动态仿真模型，利用该模型对多次外光反馈下垂直腔面发射激光器的非线性行为进行了研究。结果表明，短外腔时，光子密度随外腔长呈周期为半激射波长的余弦关系；长外腔时，随外腔长增加，垂直腔面发射激光器依次经历混沌、多周期、倍周期和单周期区域，增大外腔反射率时同样存在这些非线性区域，但出现顺序相反。进一步得出：考虑单次反馈时由于忽略了占有较多能量的高次反馈导致上述非线性效应偏弱；增大自发辐射因子或减小线性展宽因子可抑制系统的非线性行为。

Polarization- and Transverse-Mode Dynamics in Optically Injected and Gain-Switched Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers

In this paper, we summarize our recent results on nonlinear polarization- and transverse-mode dynamics of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) induced by optical injection (OI) or current modulation. Due to the surface emission and cylindrical symmetry, VCSELs lack strong polarization anisotropy and may undergo polarization switching (PS). Furthermore, VCSELs may emit light in multiple transverse modes. This provides new features to the rich nonlinear dynamics induced in VCSELs by an external perturbation. We demonstrate for the case of orthogonal OI that new Hopf bifurcation on a two-polarization-mode solution delimits the injection locking (IL) region and that PS and IL of first-order transverse mode lead to a new resonance tongue for large positive detunings. Similarly, the underlying polarization-mode competition leads to chaotic-like behavior in case of gain switching and the presence of two transverse modes additionally reduces the possibility of regular dynamics.

Optical particle manipulation by application-specific densely packed VCSEL arrays

Densely packed arrays of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) are presented, serving as low-cost and small-sized laser sources in optical particle manipulation systems. A novel, self- aligned fabrication process enables both a pitch in the 20 mum range and a selective surface etch for enhanced transverse singlemode emission. Homogeneous array performance and singlemode output powers of up to 3.8 mW are observed. By inserting the arrays into an optical tweezer setup with external optics, multiple optical traps are easily created. Non-mechanical particle translation by switching between individually addressable devices as well as continuous particle deflection in a one-dimensional optical lattice are demonstrated.     

Jitter dynamics of a gain switched semiconductor laser underself-feedback and external optical injection

We investigate the jitter dynamics of a gain switched laser diode (LD) under the influence of strong optical injection due either to multiple reflections from an external cavity mirror, or from another LD. A numerical technique that considers both the spontaneous emission noise and multiple reflections from external optical components is implemented. At all times, the LD exhibits multi-longitudinal mode operation with a Gaussian-shaped spectral line profile that is centered around a fixed dominant output wavelength. We separately consider three (strong) optical injection conditions: 1) coherent self-feedback; 2) incoherent self-feedback; and 3) coherent, external continuous-wave (CW) optical injection. Incoherent self-feedback results in a reduction, by an order of magnitude, in both the intensity and timing jitter (0.5 ps), while maintaining the average peak power and pulsewidth. Eye pattern results show an opening of at least 90 %, which represents an improvement by a factor of two over the same LD that operates without optical injection. The external CW injection condition approaches that of incoherent self-feedback only at high external injection. Coherent self-feedback does not produce any significant change in the LD performance
